Lignocellulosic fuel and chemical co-production

Dr. Boeun Kim received her MS and PhD degrees in chemical and biomolecular engineering from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Republic of Korea, in 2015 and 2019, respectively. She was a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 2019 to 2020 and at Princeton University in the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment from 2020 to 2023. She is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Kongju National University, and her research interests include the design and analysis of renewable energy systems, model-based optimization, and machine learning applications for smart manufacturing. Dr. Shamik Misra obtained his bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata; an MTech in chemical engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati; and a PhD from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (India). He worked as a post-doctoral research associate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Princeton University (USA). After that, he joined the Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati (India) in 2021, where he is currently working as an assistant professor. He works in the process systems engineering domain, specifically production and distribution optimization, and techno-economic-environmental analysis of novel processes. Christos T. Maravelias is currently the chair of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and the Anderson Family Professor in Energy and the Environment at Princeton University. His research interests lie in the general area of process and energy systems engineering and optimization. Specifically, his group studies production planning and scheduling, as well as energy systems synthesis and analysis with emphasis on renewable energy technologies. He has authored a research monograph on chemical production scheduling. Maravelias obtained his diploma from the National Technical University of Athens, an MSc from the London School of Economics, and his PhD from Carnegie Mellon University.
